Enrollment FAQ

Because the number of applicants will likely exceed the school’s authorized enrollment capacity, students are selected through a random lottery. When a student is chosen, siblings of the applicant (within the same household) are also invited for admission, provided there are openings. Students currently admitted are given preference for re-enrollment. Siblings of admitted students are given preference relative to other applicants.

LLA will not discriminate in its admission policies or practices on the same basis as other public schools may not discriminate in their admission policies and practices.

We will have enrollment opportunities beginning about January of each year and continuing throughout the year as needed. Parents should watch the website for announcements of dates for each enrollment period. Once our existing student numbers can be assessed and siblings given preference, we will run the lottery to fill any openings that may be available. This takes place about February or March. If your child is selected, you will receive an e-mail or a phone call. You must either accept or reject the position within the stated period of time in the e-mail message. If you choose not to attend, or if you do not contact the appropriate person within the given timeframe, your student will be declined in the lottery database and your student’s position will be offered to another student.

You will receive an email. Please make sure that you provide LLA with a current email that you check regularly. It is your responsibility to ensure that your contact information is up-to-date. Leadership Learning Academy is not responsible for outdated contact information or the inability to contact you.

If you need to update your personal information such as phone number, address, or e-mail address, or if you choose to withdraw your student please use your confirmation number and log into the enrollment website to make any necessary changes.

By law, the only way to receive preferential treatment during enrollment is under the following circumstances: (1) a sibling is already attending the school; (2) a parent is a founding board member of the school; or (3) the student’s parent is a teacher employed by the school.

Extra volunteer hours, special favors, or donations are not accepted in exchange for special preference.

Pursuant to federal law, the school is not authorized to maintain a waiting list longer than the Open Enrollment period. All students who apply for enrollment must be entered into a lottery for randomized placement into the school as positions become available.

Leadership Learning Academy is open to all students without admissions requirements, except in accordance with statute: Children must turn five (5) on or before September 1st of the school year to enroll in Kindergarten. Applications received for children who are not old enough to attend school for the school year they are applying for will not be accepted.

Any student who has been expelled from any school, including Leadership Learning Academy, during the preceding 12 months, may be denied enrollment.

Enrollment is reserving a spot for a child in the school. Registration is your commitment to attend the school and authorizes Leadership Learning Academy to obtain official records from your previous school.
